Featured letter: Our entitlement society big part of the problem

The "featured" letter in your April 17 edition, "Arbitration cap: good government or payback?," typifies the mindset of today's "entitlement" society. The writer demonizes our governor on his 2 percent arbitration cap as he continues to demand annual increases in salary, benefits and fringes - while the taxpaying public remains mired in this prolonged recession primarily brought about by such gross overspending in the public sector. Christie promised them?

Perhaps the writer should canvass his neighbors and ask them how many (if any!) received a salary increase in the past several years? How many have tax-payer-funded pensions to look forward to? How many have the preposterous fringe benefit packages he and his ilk receive? These things disappeared from the free market years ago.

Such self-serving, parasitic entitlement mentality is what got us into this mess. And he blames the governor for trying to correct the mess created over the years? Unbelievable.

This is a sample of public-sector leadership? Wake up and smell the roses already.
